OPERATION
Propeller-driven railcars are fun
because of their unique operating
characteristics. For example:
- When you turn the speed con-
trol, the railcar will not move
immediately. It takes time for the
thrust of the propeller to build.
- Once the railcar starts to move,
it will accelerate quickly. The
thrust needed to overcome iner-
tia is much greater than the
thrust needed to maintain a con-
stant speed.
- When you return the speed con-
trol to stop ("0"), the railcar will
keep moving. To stop the railcar,
create reverse thrust by revers-
ing the speed control.
Attention! Excessive speed in
curves may cause derailments.
Remove any object that could be
damaged from any potential
derailment area.
Attention! This model does not
have bumpers or couplers. It can
be damaged by towing or hitting
other LGB trains.
Hint: The plow on this model is
decorative. It cannot be used to
plow snow.
